My Nonprofit Reviews

We have had a wonderful experience with this nonprofit! My husband and I took a trip serve at AOL in Nicaragua for the first time in 2012 and have gone every summer possible thereafter. The children, staff and surrounding community have captured our hearts and enriched our lives in more ways than one, which is why we also cannot wait to travel their with our young children someday soon as well. We have had the opportunity to build great community there, we feel at home every time we go and want our children to experience it along with us. Additionally, it has been amazing to see the children at AOL grow in every way - education, faith, mental health, physically and more. Every time we go there it has been a completely different experience, but one thing that has not changed is the way the staff pours their heart and soul into the lives of the children and the surrounding community. They inspire us to be better parents, neighbors, coworkers, servants, etc. We feel honored to get to be part of it in a small way and come alongside to support this organization however we can.

My husband and I have been serving with Arms of Love for the past 6 years. When we signed up for our first trip we did not know the impact this organization would have on our lives! We have since gone every summer to serve and work to find creative ways to fundraise for this organization throughout the year. We believe in this organization whole-heartedly as they work to provide a family-oriented and God-centered home for the kids they serve, both those who live on campus and in the surrounding community. The staff have demonstrated to us what it truly means to serve others and have inspired us in many ways to bring that type of servant-heart back to the U.S. and implement in our daily lives. We have been able to use our stories from serving and learning from the Nicaraguans to inspire our employers to invest in this organization as well! I never would have thought that we would be using a Hedge Fund and Pharmacy as a platform for this organization, but God has worked wonders in us and through as and we are excited to continue this relationship!
